New pics! Improved cable management I cleaned it up as best I could. I've looped the SATA cable around the HDD to avoid the troubles of tying the cable. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8484.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8480.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8479.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8478.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8477.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8476.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8475.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8474.jpg http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r183/mrairplaneman777/New%20System/DSC_8473.jpg

No, I don't use backup software, I don't know of any good ones.

I just occasionally (like monthly) back up my documents onto another hard drive and maybe any software, like FS.

I mentioned two of the best I know of, and now you've piqued my interest when you suggested that you haven't found any "good ones"?

Interrogatory: Do you have any experience with Acronis? Nero?

I personally have Acronis 11.0 installed on my system as a fail safe. I can't speak to its accuracy other than it was highly rated in the usual places like, CNET, etc.

--Knock On Wood-- I haven't had to use it at this point and hope I never do. But with a spanking new build, a guy has got to start thinking of past mistakes and the loss of "critical stuff", and how to prevent that from happening again.

You mentioned having a recovery drive on your system, yet I see only one HDD in your Sig File, unless you have an external drive you haven't mentioned.

Again, I'm just curious. Wink

I use a network drive where my whole family can access files. I don't use recovery programs, I've never bothered to look for any. There are many good alternatives out there but I haven't bothered to check them.

WOW !!! Very impressive. Back when I was only 4 years old like you, my parents let me play with Playdough, Tonka Toys and plastic airplanes. Now that I am grown up, I get to fly in real airplanes.
